    A reaction and summary to the book "Warriors Don't Cry", the book is about the intergration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957

    The book, Warriors Don't Cry, is a sad, yet encouraging story of a courageous young lady. At the age of thirteen Melba Patillo Beals volunteered to integrate Central high in Little Rock, Arkansas. On May 17, 1954 the Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas that separate schools for whites and blacks were illegal. Melba often dreamed of seeing the inside of Central High. The best education and preparation for college was believed to happen inside of those doors. When she finally told her grandmother and mother that she volunteered to integrate they began to fear for Melba's life. This memoir of Melba's diary and her mother's notes explain how she decided to integrate with eight other students and the profound struggles they faced in every day life. In 1957, her fate began. Two weeks after the first attempt to integrate Central High the "Little Rock Nine" stepped foot into the huge and overwhelming school. The nine of them faced extreme violence every day. The teachers and students never let them walk by without some kind of rude comment. Melba was tripped, kicked, spat on, and verbally abused. Every day she spent in Central High there was a new struggle to overcome. She held strong and would only cry when she was behind the doors of her bedroom. The only place she could escape reality. Melba was one of "God's Warriors".…

    Summary Of Defining Bullying Down By Emily Bazelon

    I recently read a dictionary’s definition of the verb ‘bully’ as “[to] use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.” (MW Dict.) The article titled “Defining Bullying Down” by Emily Bazelon describes how the issue of bullying will never be solved if we continue to describe such a wide array of behaviors as bullying. Bazelon states that since it’s common to label everything from schoolyard teasing to harassment and intense violence as bullying, we can’t teach victims and bystanders how to stop it. Studies have shown that the best way to stop bullying is to deem it unacceptable. By shaming the behavior itself, we embarrass the perpetrator so they will think twice before doing…

    Bullying and Meanness as a Theme in of Mice and Men

    In his short book or novella Of Mice and Men, author John Steinbeck draws attention to migrant farm workers in the Depression era of the 1930s. Through his story he looks at human nature in the areas of men’s friendship, loneliness, and meanness or bullying.
